Airsoft

Airsoft | Lowell Paintball operates an airsoft field Monday through Friday with reservations required. Games have a $300 minimum for group bookings.

Three options depending on what you've got:

They don't mess around. Three non-negotiables before you step on field:

• •Mask on at all times when playing
• •Barrel sleeve required when not actively playing
• •No magazines in weapon until you're at spawn

All weapons must have orange muzzle tips per federal law.

Direct hits on any body part, clothing, or attached gear count as elimination. Ricochets don't. Penetrating shots through cover do. Friendly fire counts — hit your own teammate, you're both out.

Key rule: the 20-foot "Bang-Bang" rule. Closer than that? Say the words instead of shooting. Respawn points and safe weapon handling are enforced between rounds.

• •Dead men don't talk. Eliminated players can't give hints or instructions to active players still in game.

All weapons must pass chrono testing with strict joule limits by weapon class:

• •Pistols/Shotguns: 1.3j max
• •Assault Rifles: 1.7j max
• •Sniper Rifles: 2j max (Bolt: 2.5j)
• •Rate of fire capped at 25 rounds per second

No metal BBs. HPA and gas rifles chronographed with .40g BBs. Binary triggers prohibited.

Foul language, physical contact, blind firing, pointing lasers at faces, or cheating. Faking elimination gets you removed. Shooting a referee gets you ejected. Observers relaying tactical intel to players are considered combatants and can be eliminated.
